Flowering Plants

Flowering plants, known scientifically as angiosperms, are a group of plants that produce flowers and seeds. They are the most diverse and widespread group of plants on Earth, encompassing everything from tiny wildflowers to large fruit trees. The flowers play a crucial role in reproduction, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies, which help fertilize the plant. This process leads to the formation of seeds contained within fruits. Flowering plants are vital to ecosystems, providing food, shelter, and oxygen, and are essential for human nutrition, economy, and culture by supplying fruits, vegetables, grains, and flowers.
